Wood Moisture Meter

At PCE Instruments, you will find a diverse range of wood moisture meter products used to determine the moisture contents of many different wood types.With the help of an accurate, easy-to-use, professional wood moisture meter, the moisture contents of wood products such as hardwood flooring, cabinets, furniture, lumber, slats, beams, plywood, paneling, conglomerates, window frames, forestry wood, rolled products, building materials and more can be measured. A wood moisture meter can either be destructive (also called penetrating or pin-type) or non-destructive (e.g., non-penetrating, pin-free or pinless).

A wood moisture meter is characterized by the measuring principle it employs and the moisture sensors that can be adapted to it. Depending on the model, a wood moisture meter can have special characteristics such as automatic wood species correction and automatic temperature compensation (ATC). Data from a wood moisture meter also can be stored and transferred to a PC or portable computer, if the model allows.

- Offers high-frequency penetration up to 40 mm / 1.57 inches in depth- Features an impact-resistant plastic housing- Includes a metallic sphere or ball sensor

PCE-PMI 2 is a nondestructive wood moisture meter or dampness
instrument that measures the moisture content of concrete and other
building materials. It offers many preset characteristic curves based on
alternative material densities. This digital moisture device gives
quick and accurate moisture measurement without causing any damage to
the test material.

- Offers high-frequency penetration up to 50 mm / 1.96 inches in depth- Features an alarm function when exceeding threshold levels- Includes a metallic sphere or ball sensor

PCE-MMK 1 is a portable handheld digital moisture meter used to measure the moisture content of wood, paper, textiles, concrete and other building materials. This multifunction wood moisture meter also measures ambient temperature and ambient relative humidity.

PCE-HGP is a multifunction moisture tester for wood that uses penetrating pins to measure the moisture content of wood and other construction or building materials. PCE-HGP also measures the relative humidity (RH) and ambient temperature and calculates the dew point temperature of the air.

PCE-WMH-3 is a portable handheld digital moisture meter or analyzer used to measure the moisture content of wood. This hammer-style wood moisture analyzer features preset characteristic curves for measuring moisture in 270 different wood types.

The wood moisture meter PCE-PEL 20 was designed in collaboration with biomass power plant operators. Since the heating value of pellets depends strongly on its moisture the wood moisture meter ensures high efficiency. The pellets moisture analyzer performs a resistance moisture detection.

The Wood Moisture Meter is designed for professional use in the control output of sawmills in the input or control of pellet mills, manufacturers of heating briquettes and other branches of production. The Wood Moisture Meter determines the absolute humidity of sawdust and other types of biomass, such as Wood shavings, hay, straw.

PCE-MA 110 is a wood moisture meter or halogen moisture analyzer that functions on the gravimetric or loss on drying (LOD) principle. The moisture analyzer uses the halogen method to dry the material sample. Moisture content is calculated based on the weight difference before and after the drying procedure. Calibration of the moisture analyzer can be performed at any time using the automatic calibration function and the included 100 g weight.

The PCE-MA 202 is an oven-drying wood moisture meter for weighing and heating material samples to determine moisture content. The heating chamber warms up to 199 °C / 390 °F with the use of halogen lamps. Drying of the sample to be weighed takes place within the chamber of the wood moisture meter and the moisture content is subsequently calculated from the difference between the initial and final weight.

The wood moisture meter PCE-MA 100 allows different materials to be weighed and their moisture contents determined. The heating chamber is heated by halogen lamps up to 199 °C. In this chamber, the wood moisture meter dries the material to be weighed, and then calculates the moisture content from the weight difference.

The wood moisture meter PCE-MA 200 is used to weigh a range of substances up
to 200g / 7.05oz and measure their moisture content. A halogen lamp
heats up the chamber to 199 °C / 390 °F. The wood moisture meter dries the
substance to be weighed within the heating chamber and determines the
moisture content from the difference in weight.

The wood moisture meter PCE-MA 50X is an innovative solution for the fast and highly accurate determination of moisture in a wide variety of materials. The precision weighing scale uses weighing technology from the analytical balance range and is operated in combination with a drying chamber.

For industrial continuous production of wood pellets, chips, sawdust and similar materials when in-line moisture measurement for monitoring and controlling the drying and mixing process is important. Consistent quality of every batch, reduction of the consumption of materials, and shortest possible drying and mixing times are the criteria which are important in materials production. The PCE-MWM 210 moisture test sensor of PCE Instruments helps meet those criteria through highly accurate moisture measurement.

The PCE-MWM 300P moisture test sensor of PCE Instruments helps meet those criteria through highly accurate moisture measurement.

The Wood Moisture Meter FMW-T covers all your needs while measuring moisture contents in all types of wood and building materials. The Wood Moisture Meter works without causing any damage to the material and it is mainly used to measure building walls.

The Wood Moisture Meter FMC can accurately measure absolute humidity in diverse building materials. To detect humidity, the FMC Wood Moisture Meter has a connection for external sensors which can either be inserted into the building material or placed on it.

FME is a handheld wood moisture meter for accurate measurement of the moisture content of paper, wood and building materials. The moisture meter features preset characteristic curves for material-specific moisture measurement. To detect moisture, the moisture meter requires external sensors (sold separately - see accessories) that can either be inserted into a material or placed on a material's surface, allowing for either destructive or non-destructive measurement.

Moisture analyzer with stick-in probe (1 meter length) for precise determination of water content in wooden chips. The analyzer is equipped with a datalogger.
